Schlafly Releasing Frugi-Four April 17

Each year Schlafly produces 50 or so styles of beer. All are made by The Saint Louis Brewery and around half are draft-only. Beginning this week, four Schlafly beers will be available in a new sampler pack called Frugi-Four.

The sampler pack of 12-ounce bottles contains three bottles of four different beers.

Frugi-Four features:

Schlafly Apricot IPA – 5 percent ABV

Schlafly Peach Saison – 6 percent ABV

Schlafly Raspberry Hefeweizen – 4.1 percent ABV

Schlafly Watermelon Lager – 4.5 percent ABV

Apricot IPA was previously released on draft exclusively for St. Louis Beer Week over the summer of 2016 according to a Twitter post.

As recently as September 2016, both Peach Saison and Watermelon Lager were available on draft.

The Raspberry Hefeweizen has been available on bottles and draft in the spring for at least the past three years. Labels for bottled versions of the beers were spotted on the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) over the summer of 2016.

An email sent to the brewery seeking further was not immediately returned.

I owe a debt of gratitude to the Flying Saucer in Addison, Texas for providing my first flights into the wide world of craft beer. Tuesday nights at the Saucer were dedicated to trivia, darts and consuming beers that wouldn't be caught dead at a corner store. I wholly embraced the moniker "beerknurd" and committed myself to introduce as many people as possible to dark beer. My exposure to the creation of beer came from participating in home brew sessions around the neighborhood often in small garage setups. Tasting the "interesting" results bred a deep appreciation for the talented folks who have earned the title brewmaster. By day I work in entertainment technology working with producers to process audio, video and lighting ideas into reality.
